Seeing Li Qiuxiang's happy expression, Wang Dong didn't dare to disturb her. The couple returned home, each lost in their own thoughts. Wang Dong felt uneasy; Li Qiuxiang was truly counting on Wang Fang's promotion and wealth!
After the couple finished washing up, Wang Dong said, "Qiu Xiang, what do you think about Wang Fang's matter..."
Li Qiuxiang glanced back at him and said, "What do you mean? It's best if she doesn't wake up for the next couple of days, let me get the money and the house first!" Wang Dong wanted to say something, but looking at her like that, he didn't say anything in the end.
Li Qiuxiang was already annoyed by his attitude and glared at him. Since they were already like that, and people with mental illnesses can't be cured anyway, what was wrong with doing something beneficial for them? It was just making use of waste; she didn't feel guilty at all.
Meanwhile, Qi Zhifang, watching Wang Fang being wheeled out, couldn't help but feel a little irritated. After staying up past nine o'clock, she yawned and said weakly, "Old Xiao, I'm so dizzy." Then, she sobbed, "Just looking at Fangfang makes my heart ache." As she spoke, she held her head and shook it a few times.
Xiao Hu quickly helped her up and said, "Fangzi, are you alright? Your health isn't good to begin with. Why don't we go back? Fangfang won't wake up anytime soon. Just ask the nurse to take care of him. Don't take your health for granted!"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Qi Zhifang said, "Sigh! Fine, children are a burden. She brought this upon herself, plunging headlong into that devil's den. Take me home! I'll come see you again tomorrow." Xiao Hu nodded and helped Qi Zhifang away, his heart aching terribly. Fangzi had become isolated and alone because of him. He was thinking of just giving up, applying for retirement, and spending the rest of his life with Fangzi.
His pension was enough to support him and Fangzi, but the thought of Fangzi's messy behavior still made him conflicted. "Forget it, I'll wait a bit longer!" After taking her home, Qi Zhifang hugged Xiao Hu, saying, "Old Xiao, I'm so upset, can you keep me company?"
Xiao Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Fangzi, things aren't right for us right now. You go to sleep. Give me some more time to think about it."
Qi Zhifang cried and said angrily, "Old Xiao, what are you thinking? You've already retired to the second line, what are you afraid of? At worst, you can just apply for retirement! At my age, all I want is a companion, I want someone to be with me. How many more years do we have left to live? Is your work more important, or our life together? Your ex-wife has remarried with the children, and my children don't care about me anymore. Can't the two of us support each other and live out the rest of our lives well? Don't worry about countless things outside of yourself, just remember the person in front of you who cares for you! Old Xiao!"
As she spoke, she buried her face in Xiao Hu's arms and burst into tears; she was truly terrified! Xiao Hu patted Qi Zhifang's back and said, "I'll talk to the higher-ups. Wait for me..."
"I can't wait any longer... I can't wait even a minute longer..." Well, the two of them rolled around together again.
When Xiao Hu woke up the next day, Qi Zhifang, with a rosy complexion and charming eyes, came in carrying a small pot of millet porridge. She gave Xiao Hu a coquettish look and said, "Old Xiao, get up and eat!"
Xiao Hu got dressed and came over for breakfast with the two of them. Qi Zhifang displayed her gentle and tender side to the fullest. After serving Xiao Hu and he left, Qi Zhifang rubbed her lower back, tidied herself up, and went to work.
In high spirits and full of energy, Qi Zhifang and Li Qiuxiang were both there early in the morning. After breakfast, they called their workplaces to ask for leave and then went to Secretary Zhao's house to wait. Zhang Aihua and Zhao Yunxiang didn't show up; only Secretary Zhao was home. He handed them an envelope, and Li Qiuxiang took it out, moistened it with saliva, counted the money in front of them, and nodded, saying, "Perfect! Thank you, Secretary Zhao! Shall we go and complete the property transfer?"
Secretary Zhao looked at Li Qiuxiang with a headache, too lazy to say a word to her. In less than a morning, she had two thousand yuan and three rooms in hand. She was overjoyed and went to see the courtyard house, muttering to herself, "My son won't have to worry about finding a wife. Oh! My fat son is so lucky. No wonder he was born to me, Li Qiuxiang. It's just that his father isn't very good."
Under pressure, Wang Dong signed a waiver of liability for Wang Fang. This time, Wang Hong and Wang Dong went to take care of Wang Fang again, and Li Qiuxiang had no objections. Occasionally, the two siblings would even cook some soup and send it over, and she would turn a blind eye. She was hoping that Wang Fang would get better so that she could have more opportunities to make money. Who would still want to go to that useless B class? Lying down and eating was enough.
I went to the bank, deposited all the money, and happily hid the deposit slip. Then I strolled over to Zhao Aiguo's workplace, but coincidentally, Zhao Aiguo wasn't there; he was driving his boss to a meeting.
She walked back helplessly. At noon, she took her grandparents and the chubby guy to wash the pots. She ate until she was stuffed and even drank a bottle with Grandpa Li.
Grandpa Li and Grandma Li didn't know why she was so happy, but they hadn't heard her bullying anyone recently, so they just assumed that her work was going well.
When Wang Dong returned on the third day, he was too embarrassed to tell Li Qiuxiang, "Fangfang woke up today, and this time she's determined to divorce Zhao Yunxiang!"
Li Qiuxiang glared at him, seeing his hesitant manner, and said, "What's the point of talking nonsense!"
“She doesn’t want to hold Zhao Yunxiang responsible…” Li Qiuxiang said “Oh,” with an “I knew it” look on her face, and said jokingly, “Didn’t she already sign a waiver for him?”
Wang Dong stammered for a long time before finally saying, "He doesn't even have anywhere to get a divorce..."
"You've only had a couple of good meals, what kind of trouble are you up to now?" Looking at Li Qiuxiang's big eyes, he paused, then said, "No, look, didn't you ask for three rooms? Could you lend her one? She won't be staying long, after she gets married..."
"Tch...tch...tch, your mother has been married her whole life and never got married, what? You want to be like your uncle?" Wang Dong opened his mouth but couldn't speak, and after a long time he said, "That house, didn't you get some credit for it?"
Li Qiuxiang laughed angrily, "Don't spout nonsense! I got it through my own abilities. Besides, doesn't the Zhao family still have a house? Let her go ask for it. There's no such thing as splitting things in half when you meet. Whoever wants it keeps it!" After saying that, she hummed "Defend the Yellow River" and left. "I got it through my own abilities, why should I give them that thing?"
Wang Dong was also helpless. He lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, thinking about Qi Zhijun's life. His life was over. Then he thought of Qi's mother and realized that he hadn't visited his grandmother in a long time. At this moment, Wang Hong knocked on the door. Wang Dong sat up and said, "Honghong, what's wrong?"
Wang Hong came in, pursed her lips, and said, "Brother, I heard that someone is going to take my second sister's position. After she recovers, she'll be going to collect scraps from door to door."
Wang Dong frowned and asked, "Who told you that?"
Wang Hong sighed and said, "That's what the older sister said when I went to ask for leave for him. You know, my second sister is very concerned about her image, and she already feels wronged working there. If this happens..."
Wang Dong let out a deep breath, "We'll see when the time comes! He's just unlucky, he's been bewitched."
Wang Hong was also saddened, wondering what would happen to Wang Fang in the future.
